Run the macro only if the selected item is correct

HMC400 — Thu, 20 Aug 2020 14:02:48 GMT

Hi, as the title suggests, I wanted the macro to run only if the entity is correct.
I enclose what I tried to do, they look around on the Forum.
Specifically, I will insert the same block of text (which would be a stop) on all paths of a selected NC program.
If the selected entity is wrong, I wanted a message. If no entity is selected, I wanted another message.
Thank you all.
